UK Finance · Part 1 & 2

Part 2 of the UK Finance Mortgage Lenders' Handbook is amended by lenders without notice. Check the current version before relying on any requirement described here.

Cover

A demand for contribution towards chancel repairs, and the costs of resisting one.

Whether a policy is appropriate, and on what terms, is a matter for the conveyancer on the individual title. Premiums, limits of indemnity and exclusions are set by the insurer and are not reproduced here. Where a lender is involved, its own requirements on indemnity policies sit in Part 2 of the Handbook.
